Is there a new Batman game in 2025? There's never a bad time to go on an adventure with the Caped Crusader, but, as we know, the next Batman game is coming in 2026, it doesn't seem that you can expect a fresh adventure with him this year. Still, let's look at what we know about the Lego game and what Rocksteady is working on.
I have a lot of fond memories of the Batman games on Switch and mobile, especially the Arkham series, of which Asylum is the best, and I'll take no questions about it at this time. Some of the best Lego games even involve the Caped Crusader, and next year's blocky entry for him is sounding fantastic so far - I don't want to wish time away, but I need Legacy of the Dark Knight in my life.
Is there a new Batman game in 2025?
There is a new Batman game on the way, but it's not due to launch until 2026. The next adventure with the Caped Crusader comes in the form of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, coming to you from TT Games and Warner Bros. Games. It looks to be perfect for fans, encompassing the films, comics, TV shows, and other videogames to bring you the ultimate Batman experience, and it's sure to feature the iconic humor that Lego games are known for.
Beyond the new Lego game, we know that Rocksteady is working on a new Batman game, too, but we need to be patient, as we don't have any solid details regarding that game just yet.
New Batman game platform speculation
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Darknight is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, so nobody needs to miss out on this one - assuming you have one of the current generation consoles, at least.
As for Rocksteady's game, it's likely to arrive on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, given the Arkham trilogy is available on those platforms. Additionally, Batman: Arkham Knight is also Steam Deck verified, so we also hope to see the next Batman game arrive on the Steam Deck and some of the best portable gaming consoles like the ASUS ROG Ally.
What will the new Batman game be like?
As with any Batman game, we think it's likely that the next main entry will be an action game with detective elements, seeing you uncover dark secrets and fight villains as you explore the open world of Gotham. Of course, there are bound to be plenty of fun gadgets, too, as well as the iconic Batmobile.
Legacy of the Dark Knight, meanwhile, features action sequences and some puzzle-based elements, just like any other puzzle game. While it draws inspiration from famous Batman adventures, the game features an original story and is playable in multiplayer. However, in an interesting move for a Lego game, there are just seven playable characters, which is exceedingly low when you compare it to other games like it.
New Batman game release date speculation
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is due to launch in 2026, though we don't have a precise date just yet. As soon as we do, we'll be sure to update this guide and let you know.
That's everything we can tell you about the new Batman game. We also have our eyes peeled for information about the new FNAF game and the new Resident Evil game, so be sure to check out those guides, too. Or, for more superhero fun, swing by our list of the best Spider-Man games.
